Some scandal about an AFL player who posted some revenge porn on social media. Tadgh suggested the girl shouldn’t have got into a situation where the picture could be taken.
An All-Ireland final a few years back. Kerry v Cork. Ball was thrown in and he smacked a Cork lad straight in the head/face. Blatant red card. Got away without as much as a yellow card I think. (Was it Nicholas Murphy he hit, @gilgamboa@caoimhaoin ?)
Kerry went on to win and he fucked off back to Oz. Released an autobiography not long after where it said in the book something along the lines of “I wanted to make a statement from the start. I planned to hit him hard. Cop that.”
Bit of a hullabaloo after when it came out, he claims his ghost writer had misinterpreted what he was saying and it was never his intention to hit him or hurt anyone.
Very good Irishman abroad podcast with him recently where he speaks about the incident. Was a cold calculated filthy move that i would have done myself without a second thought
No ref was ever going to send a player off ten seconds into an All-Ireland. He basically got a free shot at one of the oppositions best players and took him out.
Excellent book published last few years called Night Moves (i think) which is an expose of the rape culture in australian sport. Won sports book of the year. Good read.
